Excellent interview on the #FreeCholSooLee movie, about a Korean man wrongly convicted of a murder in SF Chinatown. After 50 years, Julie Ha and Eugene Yi made a moving and powerful movie: https://t.co/qz8BjPkmNl @theHaReport@fcsl_film@KCBSRadio@KeithMenconi
NBA players are courageously on strike (withholding labor), NOT boycotting (withholding their $ /purchase). The diff is important bc it shows their power as *workers.*
The courage this takes is profound. WNBA organizing in this moment MUST be recognized too. #StrikeForBlackLives
"I can't breathe. I have my ID right here. My name is Elijah McClain. That's my house. I was just going home. I'm an introvert. I'm just different. I don't do any fighting. Why are you attacking me? I don't even kill flies! I don't eat meat! But I don't judge people who do...”

The statistic I heard most staggering today was that the police have killed 7,666 ppl in the past 6 yrs & there has only been 25 convictions. 74 cases went to court w/ no conviction. 98.7% of police deaths get absolutely no punishment. If that doesn���t wake you TF up idk what will
Abortion bans aren’t just about controlling women’s bodies.
They’re about controlling women’s sexuality. Owning women.

THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO is our kind of summer blockbuster. Soaring, epic, pure poetry. So excited to share Joe Talbot and Jimmy Fails' story with the world.
